Thank you for joining us in the celebration of our first Father’s Day Breakfast last Thursday. It was great to see so many dads, grandads enjoying an egg and bacon muffin with their child/ren. A big shout out to our family and friends of Craigburn and staff who volunteered their time to ensure our Father’s Day breakfast was a successful community event.
Asthma Awareness Week
This week is Asthma Awareness Week – a timely opportunity to check in with how we can work together to manage asthma at school. Read more here.
RUOK Day
This Thursday is 8 September is RUOK Day – an important day and time to check in with each other and start an RUOK? conversation using these four steps:
- Ask R U OK?
- Listen
- Encourage action
- Check in
Some useful community resources here.
Playground Markings
We are thrilled to have new playground markings installed – which have already proved to be popular amongst students and staff alike.
To Note
Premier’s Reading Challenge
The Premier’s Reading Challenge finishes this Friday – please encourage your child to hand in their record sheets before the end of the week. Unfortunately, late forms can’t be accepted.

Friendly Reminders
- School opens at 8.30am – students should not be on school grounds prior to this time unless supervised by a parent / carer.
- Lost property continues to build up –the stall is situated in the hallway adjacent to the canteen and gym – please check for any items that may have been misplaced. A reminder also to please label clothing, drink / food containers, hats etc. When they are labelled they easily find their way back to students.
- Traffic and Parking. The local council has clear signage / road markings in relation to off-street parking. We respectfully ask families and friends to be extra mindful of adhering to the parking rules and regulations. This is in the best interest of safety for our students / families and local residents.
